Yang Zhen came to Luoyang and used many connections of the Hongnong Yang family.

The first thing is to force the emperor.

Under pressure, the emperor gave in.

The second step is to rely on the Queen Mother.

Now, he has done it.

These are the two things he did when he went to Luoyang.

From Yang Zhen's perspective, Wang Sheng certainly couldn't say that he had done anything wrong, but from Wang Sheng's own perspective, Yang Zhen had done too many wrong things.

The emperor is indeed a new emperor, and the Hongnong Yang family is indeed considered a high-ranking family.

But using the power of the family to coerce the emperor, although the emperor gave in, would he have no resentment in his heart?

The family was powerful, so the emperor gave in for this reason.

When the emperor regained his breath, how could he not think of revenge?

Although the emperor wanted to take action against the aristocratic family, he was definitely not able to do so.

But for you Yang Zhen, that's not necessarily the case.

If that's all, that's fine. The key is that this Yang Zhen is still attached to the Queen Mother and wrote a birthday poem...

Keep supporting these two aspects.

Hahaha.

It is not easy for Yang Zhen to get out of Luoyang alive.

What's more, even if Yang Zhen is lucky, the emperor will not hold him responsible.

But Wang Sheng would not let him go.

Wang Sheng has never been a generous person.

on the contrary.

He also has certain vengeances.

Since Yang Zhen provoked him, it was naturally impossible for him to let this guy go.

Of course, at this time, Yang Zhen didn't know that her life span might be less than a month.

At this moment, all he could think about was the wonderful days ahead.

Although Wang Sheng was not very interested in the banquet at Weishui Manor, the interest of other people was quite high.

After going back and forth, the atmosphere was very harmonious, and it was basically the same as the Queen Mother's "Birthday Poems" that some talented people came up with.

Song and dance, wine, silk and bamboo, beauties...

The luxurious life of the aristocratic family was displayed in front of Wang Sheng without any obstruction.

After three rounds of wine, the five flavors of food are over.

There were already drunk people one after another.

Even some people who had taken the disease looked a little crazy at this time. Fortunately, there were enough slaves in Weishui Manor and there were enough rooms.

Of course there is no problem in solving these problems.

certainly.

This also indicates that today's banquet has come to an end.

Wang Sheng stood up and left the Weishui Manor with Wang Rong.

Wang Sheng gave Wang Rong all the benefits of the perfume business, and the latter knew that he had made a profit, so his expression towards Wang Sheng was quite enthusiastic at this time.

"Marquis Guangyuan, your performance in the lobby just now was not very good. You probably still have to give the Queen Mother some face. If Xie Tai speaks ill of you in front of the Queen Mother, I'm afraid..."

Of course Wang Sheng knew what Wang Rong meant.

But he didn't care much about it on his face.

"Beforehand, I have already visited the Queen Mother."

"oh?"

Wang Rong nodded, showing a look of sudden realization.

"But even so, you still have to be restrained when dealing with people. Although the Hongnong Yang family is in decline now, but the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, then Yang Zhen still has some abilities. The relationship between you and him is too tense.

It’s definitely not a good thing for you.”

It can be seen that Wang Rong taught Wang Sheng the principles of life as a senior.

It looks like...

The perfume business plays a very important role in Wang Rong's heart.

Wang Sheng and Wang Rong were talking and laughing all the way, and finally Wang Sheng stopped in front of Wang Rong's car.

"As an old man, I find you extremely pleasing to the eye. Don't be too sharp and harm yourself. That's all I have to say, so I won't say too much."

After saying that, Wang Rong got on the carriage, and Wang Sheng saluted Wang Rong's carriage and watched Wang Rong's carriage speeding slowly towards Luoyang City.

This guy has forgotten everything about chasing him in the palace yesterday.

Standing at the entrance of Weishui Manor, Wang Sheng did not rush to get on the carriage, but waited for a while.

He was waiting for Lu Ji and Lu Yun.

His wait did not last long.

The rather burly and muscular Lu Ji walked in front, followed closely behind by the thin and cute-looking Lu Yun.

"Brother Shiheng."

Seeing Lu Ji and Lu Yun coming out, Wang Sheng hurriedly greeted him.

"Marquis Guangyuan?"

Lu Ji was stunned for a moment.

Although he had contact with Wang Sheng, he only had some contact and met him a few times.

As for friendship, there is of course no such thing.

"I wonder if Brother Shiheng would like to come to the manor for a drink?"

A small drink?

Is this an invitation?

Lu Ji's eyes suddenly lit up.

Wang Sheng, Marquis of Guangyuan, is now a popular figure around the emperor. His power in Luoyang is greater than that of Jia Mi before him. To be honest, he cannot give in too much.

You should make friends with such a person.

And if he had friendship with someone like Wang Sheng, his career would...

Wouldn't it be smoother?

A smile immediately appeared on Lu Ji's face.

"If you want it, why don't you go?"

"Brother..."

Behind Lu Jianyi, Lu Yun looked a little hesitant.

"Just now Mr. Yang invited me to his residence."

This so-called Yang Gong is of course Yang Zhen's.

Lu Ji's face showed disapproval.

"Mr. Yang's banquet is full of people. One more of us is not more, and one of us less is not more. Since the princes and princes invite you, if I can't wait, it will be disrespectful of etiquette."

There was still some hesitation on Lu Yun's face.

Wang Sheng stood aside and spoke.

"It's okay, I'm just going to have a drink, it's okay."

Wang Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

These two people in front of me are talented people!

Wang Sheng now only has one Zhang Bin.

One Zhang Bin is never enough.

Lu Ji not only had literary talent, but also the ability to lead troops.

You can lead an army alone in the future.

and.

He is a person from Wuzhong. Even if the north is corrupted and Lu Ji and Lu Yun are there, he will still have a certain foundation in Wuzhong.

Among those who led the troops, Wang Sheng had Wang Mi.

Now if we can add Lu Ji who can lead troops and act as counselors, that would be a great thing.

"Since you are kindly inviting me, I have no reason to refuse."

It was obvious that Lu Ji wanted to make friends with Wang Sheng, but Lu Yun had other ideas in mind.

The three of them got into the car and drove.

And Wang Sheng also ordered the coachman to return home.

On the chariot, Wang Sheng and Brother Lu Ji didn't talk about anything particularly in-depth.

Just talking about some very simple things.

Although Wang Sheng knew something about Lu Ji, understanding was only understanding after all.

There may still be some differences from the facts. What Wang Sheng has to do now is to try his best to turn his understanding into facts.

Wang Sheng intended to make friends with Lu Ji, who also wanted to have friendship with Wang Sheng in order to ensure a smooth career for him.

The two of them each had their own needs, so the atmosphere in the carriage was very relaxed.

To be honest, Weishui Manor is not too far away from Jingu Garden.

Soon, the three of them got out of the carriage.

Before coming, Wang Sheng had already ordered his servants to prepare a banquet.

The place where the banquet is set is on the pavilion.

In this place, you can not only overlook the beautiful winter scenery, but also block the wind and snow, making people not feel too cold.

This location is naturally excellent.

Lu Ji and Lu Yun were also very satisfied.

"Brother Shiheng, please."

Wang Sheng gestured to Lu Ji, who slowly sat down.

Lu Yun also chose a seat and sat down.

"I didn't know that the Lord invited me to wait here today. I wonder if I have any advice?"

"Don't take it seriously."

Wang Sheng's eyes narrowed in laughter.

"I've only heard of Brother Shiheng's reputation. Besides, I had to thank Brother Shiheng for speaking up for me that day in the Golden Valley Garden. Otherwise, I'm afraid the person sitting opposite Brother Shiheng now would be a corpse."

On the same day?

It should be said that it was the time with the champion Hou Guozhang?

Lu Ji had some doubts in his heart.

He really wanted to speak for Wang Sheng at that time, but at that time...

It seems that he did not speak for the current Marquis Guangyuan.

but...

Since Marquis Guangyuan said so, Lu Ji immediately agreed.

"What happened at that time is probably what anyone with conscience would do."

The food and wine were excellent, but Mr. Wang did not introduce them.

After all, Lu Ji is considered to be from a high family. Although this high family is from the Wu Kingdom, as a family from a defeated country, it is natural that it is not as good as the Hongnong Yang family, Langya Wang family and others.

But it's not as good as it is.

Lu Ji has seen a lot of the world.

"Brother Shiheng, can you see anything wrong with today's banquet at Weishui Manor?"

Something wrong?

Lu Ji didn't know why Wang Sheng said such things, but since he said it, there was a reason for it.

So, Lu Ji thought about it carefully.

Needless to say, it actually reminded him of two things.

"You mean, Your Majesty?"

There is no need to say the rest.

Everyone sitting here knows it very well.

Wang Sheng also nodded lightly.

"besides."

"besides?"

"Yang Zhen?"

Thinking of the conflict between Yang Zhen and Marquis Guangyuan at the banquet, Lu Ji thought this was what Wang Sheng was talking about.

Unexpectedly, Wang Sheng still shook his head.

"Not this either."

At this time, Lu Yun, who was behind Lu Jianyi, spoke.

"I'm afraid the prince means that the birthday banquet is not in line with etiquette."

Wang Sheng nodded slightly.

"What Brother Shilong said is true. It seems that "when two landmen enter Luo, the price of three cards will be reduced." This statement is quite good."

Being praised so highly by Wang Sheng, Lu Ji's face turned slightly red, he shook his head slightly and said, "It's just exaggerated words from people who share the same path."

"To be honest, your Majesty will probably not agree to the Queen Mother's wishes."

Wang Sheng said this to Lu Ji without any courtesy.

Your Majesty will not agree?

There is quite a lot of information contained in Wang Sheng’s short sentence!

Lu Ji and Lu Yun looked at each other with solemn expressions in their eyes.

"I hope you will make it clear."

Wang Sheng's position is closer to the center of power than them, and he must know a lot of information. There is no doubt about this.

"I can't tell you the specific news yet, but one thing I can say is, don't be too eager about things with the Queen Mother."

This is already a very direct reminder.

It also means.

The Queen Mother can't do politics?

After just thinking about it, Lu Ji figured out the joints involved.

With Your Majesty's current temperament, if the Queen Mother wants to get involved in politics, isn't that just a dream?

Fortunately, they were blinded by their smooth career, and they only wanted to please the Queen Mother, but they did not think of this link.

Originally, Lu Ji thought that no matter what she said, the Queen Mother was also His Majesty's biological mother.

Always save some face.

But now after listening to Wang Sheng's words, in the face of power, things like face are dispensable.

and...

The emperor would give face to the queen mother, but he would not punish her in any way.

But for those of them who are attached to the Queen Mother...

That's not necessarily the case.

Phew~

Thinking of this, Lu Ji felt cold sweat on his forehead and a chill on his back.

"Why do you teach me?"

It can be seen that Lu Ji is indeed a little nervous now.

"It's not really teaching, it's just some reminders."

This is not considered teaching.

Wang Sheng dared to say such words to himself at this time. Why didn't Lu Ji know what Wang Sheng meant?

This is definitely not a simple meeting.

Marquis Guangyuan definitely had a purpose in meeting him.

make friends...

More like subduing...

Lu Ji's heart was very open.

"Brother Shi Heng is originally from Jiangdong. It may not be easy for him to come to Luoyang. Why don't you tell me about your affairs? As for me, my affairs are now known to the whole of Luoyang."

Talk...

Lu Ji nodded slightly and slowly told his past events.

Lu Ji was born in Hengshan, Wu County.

He was born into a distinguished noble family and was the grandson of Lu Xun, the prime minister of Sun Wu. His father, Lu Kang, was also the Grand Sima of Sun Wu. Lu Ji was the fourth son of Lu Kang. He was seven feet long and his voice was as loud as a bell.

When he was young, he had a miraculous talent, his articles were world-famous, he was devoted to Confucian scholarship, and he could not be immoral.

In the third year of Fenghuang, Lu Kang died. Lu Ji, his brothers Lu Yan, Lu Jing, Lu Xuan and his brother Lu Yun took charge of Lu Kang's tribe and served as Yamen generals.

In the first year of Taikang, Sun Wu was destroyed when Lu Ji was twenty years old, so he retreated to his hometown and studied hard behind closed doors for more than ten years.

Since Lu Ji's father and ancestors were generals and ministers in Sun Wudu and had outstanding achievements, he deeply lamented that Sun Hao, the last emperor of Wu, abandoned his ancestral property and surrendered to the Western Jin Dynasty. He commented on the reasons why Sun Quan won the world and Sun Hao lost it, and also traced the story of his grandfather

, his father's achievement, he wrote "The Theory of Death" in the ninth year of Taikang.

In the tenth year of Taikang, Lu Ji and his younger brother Lu Yun came to the capital Luoyang together. When they first arrived in Luoyang, they were very ambitious and considered themselves a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River. They did not pay attention to people from the Central Plains and only visited famous celebrities at that time, such as Taichang Zhanghua.

Zhang Hua always valued Lu Ji's reputation. Lu Ji felt like they were old friends when they met. He admired Zhang Hua's moral character and treated him with the courtesy of a teacher.

Zhang Hua said: "In the battle against Wu, we gained two heroes." He recommended them to the princes, which made the two continents famous. There is a saying that "when two continents enter Luo, the price of three is reduced".

But then, Lu Ji's situation became worrying.

The Lu family is a high-ranking family in Wuzhong, but in Luoyang, it is regarded as a defeated family and a rootless family.

The neglect he received was not enough for outsiders.

Therefore, Lu Ji became friends with Jia Mi and became the twenty-four friends of Jingu. For this reason, he was abandoned by the world at that time.

After that, Lu Ji became friendly with the King of Wu, and although his official career was not a smooth one, it was steady and progressing.

It was not until the fall of Jia Mi that Lu Ji's career came to an end.

In fact, all twenty-four friends of Jingu were more or less affected.

He had little foundation in the court, so he was particularly affected.

Otherwise, he would not be so concerned about the Queen Mother's birthday banquet and Wang Sheng's friendship.

But now it seems that his anxious approach has brought trouble for himself.

Wang Sheng listened quietly to the landing machine.

By this time, he felt that the time was ripe.

If you need to say something, you can say it directly.
